| Reason/Issue |
Braun has been notified by the manufacturer that an error in the initial manufacture of these items has been identified resulting in a potential for the protective sleeves to become “sticky” after reprocessing.
It has been determined that the used plastic sleeves of the instrument do not meet the valid specification. Instead of the specified material silicone, the material PVC was used for the manufacturing of the sleeves. This could render affected instruments unusable after reprocessing. |
